That is not what the US said, that is what 1441 says. Resolution 1441 explicitly places the burden of proof on Iraq to prove that they destroyed the remaining WMD's that they had in their possession in 1998. The burden of proof is not on the USA, the UN, or the inspectors. The inspectors are not in Iraq to find WMD's, they are there to oversee the destruction of the remaining WMD's Iraq still had in their possesion in 1998, as well as to see that they have dismantled their capability of producing WMD's.
Iraq has stated that they destroyed the remaining WMD's from 1998 but have not presented one single piece of proof that they in fact did destroy the remaining WMD's from 1998. They claim that when they destroyed the remaining WMD's from 1998, they also destroyed the paper work for the destruction of the remaining WMD's from 1998. Do you buy that story?
Even if they did destroy the paper work for the destruction of the remaining WMD's from 1998 their would be in existence physical proof of the destruction. They have failed to provide this proof.
Even if they did destroy the paper work for the destruction of the remaining WMD's from 1998 their would be those scientists, engineers, personell in general, that helped to destroy the remaining WMD's from 1998. They have failed to produce the people involved in the destruction of the WMD's remaining from 1998.
1441 places the burden of proof upon them and they have failed to produce the proof, thus a major breach of 1441.
So do not tell other people to inform themselves, when you are just posting BS.

Yer full of it. How in the world does anyone prove a negative? If I destroyed something 5 years ago, how in the world do I prove that? By showing some paperwork? That proves that I destoyed it? You say they should show physical proof of the destruction. Like what - some melted down scraps of iron?
The UN was totally and completely bullied into resolution 1441 by the US. The US is the 800 lb gorilla of the UN. As much as Russia, France and China whine about it, they know that in the end they have to go along if they want to at least have a nibble at the spoils of war (oil!). So they go along with these ridiculous resolutions. They know that the US plan is ultimately to invade.
And if UN resolutions are so sacrosant, what about the UN resolution that condemned the US invasion of Panama in 1988? Is the US only required to follow those UN resolutions that it agrees with? What about the endless string of UN resolutions that have been passed against Israel but which the US and Israel continue to ignore? Should the rest of the world invade Israel and the US for their decades-long flaunting of UN resolutions?
Doe the word hypocracy mean anthing to you?
It is time for to change your handle from theking to thejester.
